Charon QC points out that for four weeks Blawg Review will be headed by Canadians, starting with Blawg Review #249.

Rania Combs also mentioned it on her site:

Blawg Review is a roundup of the best recent legal blogs, hosted each week by a different site. This week’s edition was hosted by Slaw, a Canadian co-operative law blog, and authored by Omar Ha-Redeye, who wrote an informative and interesting review following the theme of African slavery in America. I was honored and flattered that my article about the problem with LegalZoom was mentioned in this week’s review. You can read the full post by visiting Slaw.

Law Shucks gives it a shout out,

Blawg Review #249 – Slaw – Why did we have to learn that February 1 is National Freedom Day in the US from a Canadian law blog? Enjoy Blawg Review #249- Roots: The Legality of an American Slavery

Here’s what the Editor of Blawg Review had to say:

If you’re wondering what’s the point of blogs and other social media, in the context of the legal profession’s greater concerns, take a look at this week’s presentation of Blawg Review, on Slaw.ca, a Canadian law blog with a global perspective.
